A Night with Joe Gatto at the Schuster Center

We had front row seats to see Joe Gatto from the show Impractical Jokers. He was hilarious! 

At the beginning of the show, Joe had a cookie in his pocket and gave it to dad saying he looked like he needed it.

Wittenberg Indoor Meet

First meet of the year. We do not have indoor throwing or jumping facilities, so this meet is really practice v. competing for us. 

Shot put was okay. I threw 26'3.5" which was meh for be, but okay for a first meet. I finished 17th out of 34 throwers. 

Long jump. . .my first time jumping at all (even practice) since June. I got 12'7", but was just happy to get a fair jump at all. I placed 23rd out of 26.

I have not thrown weight in 2 years, but decided to give it a go. I threw 25' and placed 11th out of 15.

Triple jump was super ugly, but I got a fair jump at 26'5" and placed 12th out of 13. 

 I made the front page of MileSplit with my practice throw.
